"Yes, Mr. Mu," Deputy Zhao nodded and responded after hearing the words, then turned around and left the place.
"Brother Mu, are you really planning to cross the Dead Sea alone to Crab Demon Island?" Yang Zhaodi asked in shock as she looked at Mu Rufeng.
"Ah? Brother Mu, are you out of your mind?" Sun Lujia immediately climbed out of the swimming pool, her face filled with worry as she looked at Mu Rufeng.
"Hurry back to your room; you never know when some commotion might occur."
After saying that, Mu Rufeng didn't wait for their reactions; he leaped forward and fell downward.
Seeing this, Sun Lujia and Yang Zhaodi were taken aback and immediately rushed to the railing.
Watching the falling Mu Rufeng, they realized that he wasn't joking.
Mu Rufeng arrived on the deck and then used Instantaneous Movement to enter directly into the dining car.
The car was almost full.
When Mu Rufeng appeared, those who recognized him immediately stood up and greeted him.
Those who didn't know him also learned about his identity through conversation and likewise started saying hello.
Mu Rufeng nodded in acknowledgment and then found Afei.
"Mr. Mu, do you have any orders for me?" Afei asked from in front of the train conductor's office.
"Do you have any way to make the Bloody Train unleash even stronger power? I want to use it to make the Gluttonous Cruise stop here," Mu Rufeng asked.
"That... I know, you just need to add fuel to the fuel furnace," Afei said after pondering for a while.
"Oh? It's that simple? Well then, let's go to the cockpit."
Mu Rufeng immediately went with Afei to the cockpit door.
Like the train conductor, Afei pressed his hand on the door.
Afei was originally the chief steward and currently in charge of the train's affairs, so he could also open the cockpit door.
However, he couldn't operate it.
"Mr. Mu, this here is the fuel furnace, but since there are no passengers in error now, we can only burn soul banknotes," said Afei.
("Passengers in error: Thank you so much!")
"How much should we burn?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Mr. Mu, I don't know about that. If it were the train conductor, he might know," Afei said.
"Then it seems I'll have to try it slowly." Saying this, Mu Rufeng started throwing soul banknotes into the furnace.
Ten minutes later, after spending tens of thousands, Mu Rufeng finally found a critical point.
"By the way, Afei, can I swipe the balance on my Black Gold Card into the fuel furnace?" Mu Rufeng inquired.
"That's possible, Mr. Mu. Any consumption on the train is allowed, but the money burned in the furnace won't get a discount," Afei said.
"That'll do. Let's swipe three million first, and you control the burn rate—burn a hundred thousand every hour," Mu Rufeng said.
"Alright, Mr. Mu." Afei nodded.
Quickly, Mu Rufeng swiped three million, and this amount, of course, wouldn't appear directly.
It would directly materialize in the furnace.
But Afei would operate on the furnace, just setting it up as needed.
This way, three million could burn for thirty hours.
During these thirty hours, the Bloody Train would unleash additional powerful force.
And this force could exactly let the Gluttonous Cruise forgo the power needed for sailing to counter the Bloody Train.
And there was no need to worry about the Gluttonous Cruise increasing its consumption, because clearly, it didn't want to have a hard fight with the Bloody Train.
It seemed to fear that the Bloody Train might ignite again; that way, there'd be no escaping.
"By the way, if anything unusual happens, immediately burn all the money to suppress the Gluttonous Cruise," Mu Rufeng instructed.
"Yes, Mr. Mu!" Afei quickly responded.
"Alright." Mu Rufeng nodded, then left the cockpit.
A small lifeboat fell from the sky and then crashed onto the water surface, creating a huge splash.
Then, Mu Rufeng leaped from the deck and landed directly on the lifeboat, nearly flipping the boat over.
As soon as he entered the Dead Sea, Mu Rufeng felt a very strong special energy acting upon him.
Threads of life force were being absorbed by the Dead Sea.
Dead Sea, Dead Sea, it was indeed absorbing life force, and not just any, but the life force from living beings, with even greater intensity.
Mu Rufeng immediately activated Ghost Power, which enveloped his entire body, thus drastically reducing the absorption power, yet it still couldn't fully block the ability to absorb.
It's hard to imagine, he was still on the boat; if he were to fall directly into the Dead Sea, probably in an instant, the life force inside his body would be drained.
Mu Rufeng looked up, waved his hand indicating that he was fine.
And Deputy Zhao, who peeked half of his body from the deck, also let out a sigh of relief, then quickly withdrew his head.
This boat was somewhat shabby, merely a third-level vehicle, a lifeboat from the Gluttonous Cruise.
The only advantage was that it could navigate within the Dead Sea.
Of course, the most dangerous aspect wasn't the Dead Sea's absorption ability, but countless ferocious abnormal creatures within the Dead Sea.
Mu Rufeng ran Ghost Power, pouring it into the motor of the lifeboat.
The engine immediately roared into action, the propellers spinning rapidly, and the lifeboat sped forward.
